 WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO?
We are a volunteer-based, non-profit organization who welcomes anyone with multiple children or expecting multiple children throughout the Fraser Valley Area (Surrey, Delta, White Rock, Langley, Aldergrove, Abbotsford and Mission ). We host monthly meetings in order for parents to have an opportunity to benefit from others experiences through our own trials and tribulations or by hosting a guest speaker of a specific topic. As parents of varied ages of multiples we can tell you first hand the chaos a household goes through bringing two or more babies home from the hospital at once and the growing times afterwards. Another important role of our club is to host random activities like our monthly Playgroups, and annual events such as our Christmas party, Easter party, Halloween party, Summer picnics, etc., for the children as it will give them an opportunity to play in an environment where they can feel a little less unusual.
Once a member of our wonderful club you become entitled to our bi-monthly newsletter and a quarterly newsletter from Northwest Association Mothers of Twins clubs. You may also borrow books from our library between meetings. We also host swap meets alternating with our sister club, POCOMO Moms of Multiples.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND US?
We have our meetings on the first Wednesday of every month from September to June at 7:00pm (doors opening at 6:30pm) at Clayton Hall , 18513 – 70 Avenue, Surrey , (vicinity of 184 th Street and Fraser Highway ). Our December (Christmas social) and June's (Year end social) meetings are hosted at a member's house and details will be in our newsletter or on our website: www.multiplemiracles.org
